Meetup/Mashup at CommunityOne
Help nonprofits harness the power of the web.
We are doing a really cool thing on May 4th in conjunction with CommunityOne. We are inviting attendees from CommunityOne & JavaOne, plus student developers, to participate in a Meetup/Mashup to support nonprofits. Working with the San Francisco based nonprofit, NetSquared, Sun Microsystems, Inc. is leveraging a diverse and talented community of technology experts to help organizations with the technology challenges they face.
The event is happening on May 4 from noon – 5pm at the Moscone Center in San Francisco
Meetup/Mashup provides you an opportunity to direct your talent and programming skills to nonprofits focused on making positive social change, to see how others are using to technology to enact positive social change, and an opportunity meet some passionate people working to make the communities where we live and work a better place.
Participating nonprofits will have a variety of technology needs, including:
Refining some of their ideas about how the data they are using could be rendered in mashups; and
Building mashups using a variety of APIs, products, or coming up with creative technical solutions to particular problems they are facing.
